The Plastic Bag Monster Sculpture Will Scare You into Recycling

A group of Slovenian eco enthusiasts and artists recently collected over 40,000 plastic bags and 7,500 plastic cups to create the aptly named 'Plastic Bag Monster.' The monster is made out of material taken from the schools of Slovenian capital city Ljubljana.

The 'Plastic Bag Monster' is actually quite frightening and serves as a good reminder to ditch plastic bags and switch to canvas. Check out the monster above and click below to see less scary -- though equally cool -- plastic bag creations.
